00:00 So looking forward, Joe, to Hull City.
00:03 At some point, one of us is going
00:04 to have to do a predicted 11 for the website on this.
00:07 And I think it's your turn, which is probably a good thing,
00:11 because I still don't have a clue.
00:13 We did speak last night about the fact
00:14 that Barry Bannon and Will Vaux both played 90 minutes.
00:17 Now, it could be that they were meant to play an hour,
00:20 they were meant to play a half.
00:22 Barry has certainly spoken at length about the need
00:24 to get used to the roles and responsibilities
00:27 that he's been given by Chisco.
00:30 But 90 minutes on Tuesday, so early in the season,
00:34 he can't possibly be thinking about leaving those two out
00:37 at Hull, can he?
00:38 You wouldn't have thought so.
00:39 You know, speaking to him afterwards about Barry
00:43 specifically, he was talking about how important he is,
00:46 like his technical ability, the fact
00:48 that he can play a little bit further back like he did
00:50 last night, or higher up as he has done
00:52 over the course of preseason so far.
00:56 I don't see how Wednesday go to Hull and don't use him.
01:02 And obviously Vaux has been a key player
01:05 in that sort of defensive mid-role as well.
01:08 And obviously he did go, he went for more 4-4-2
01:11 against Stockport than in other games
01:14 where he's done sort of 4-1-4-1.
01:17 But yeah, I think, look, it's early enough in the season,
01:19 isn't it?
01:19 You know, it's early enough in the season
01:20 that you're not sort of overloading players.
01:22 So I would still think that they would be playing
01:25 against Hull.
01:27 But in terms of the rest of the team,
01:31 it's just really difficult to say.
01:33 I think you obviously, you're going to see your Josh Windass
01:37 and I think with Callum Paterson,
01:39 after the way he played, he'll be coming back in.
01:43 There was no Michael Ecquart at all in the squad the other night.
01:46 Michael Smith was meant to start, and then obviously
01:48 he said that he was ill, so he didn't play.
01:51 He could be back in contention for the whole game.
01:55 It just, yeah.
01:58 Also, in terms of the new players that have come in,
02:02 you know, they're all still getting up to speed.
02:04 A lot of them haven't had full pre-seasons
02:06 for Wednesday, well, most of them haven't had full pre-seasons
02:08 for Wednesday.
02:09 So you never know what he's going to look to do
02:13 when it gets to the nitty-gritty of Championship games again,
02:17 especially as I'm sure he grows increasingly aware
02:21 that there's only so long that, you know,
02:25 you can talk about progression without the results following.
02:30 Talk to me about Marvin Johnson.
02:31 He's one that you didn't mention there.
02:33 Left out of the squad for the second game running.
02:36 I think we all sort of assumed that this might be a game
02:38 that he might come in for,
02:40 and ever-present under Deren Moore, wasn't he?
02:42 I think, I mean, without checking the numbers,
02:45 I would wager he might have been the biggest appearance holder
02:48 under Deren Moore, given there were injuries here and there
02:50 for about a month.
02:53 Yeah, yeah.
02:54 Yeah.
02:55 I think he's played almost 100 games in two years.
02:59 That's it?
03:00 Yeah, I think 96 appearances.
03:02 Yeah, assists galore,
03:06 and certainly a very steadfast member of that Moore set-up.
03:11 But as we said last week, you know, with regard to other players,
03:14 new managers come in, new ideas, things can change.
03:17 How do you read the current situation with marvellous Marvin Johnson?
03:22 Yeah, it's a bit sad, really, because obviously, like I say,
03:27 Marvin was brilliant last season.
03:30 I think it was only Smith and Windas who got more goals
03:33 and assists than he did last time out.
03:35 Obviously, some very, very important ones as well along the way.
03:40 And I think the most, I suppose, worrying thing from Marvin's perspective
03:46 is the fact that you had, like, Sean Fosera and Bailey Kadamari
03:50 on the bench in the Cup last night over him,
03:53 because obviously the manager said it's not down to injury,
03:56 it's purely a selection thing.
03:58 And obviously, having just signed a new contract,
04:01 it's not an ideal situation to be in for Marvin, is it?
